Customer Questions and Answers for Vent Grille by Ge

The Vent Grille is an OEM part for GE microwaves. The vent grille is located on the bottom or top of the microwave, depending on the model, and allows heat and steam to properly vent during cooking cycles.

Symptoms of a bad vent grille include:

• Reduced or obstructed air flow during cooking cycles
• Excessive steam or smoke escaping from the sides of the microwave

• Discoloration or corrosion of the metal grille
